Wonderful - thanks so much for posting. I was lucky enough to see the Iris Apfel collection "Rara Avis" at the Met a few years ago and have the book. She is priceless - totally herself and full of wonderful advice.

just discovered site this still in my 5th decade and wondering where all the amazing older women are -when I was a child in the 60's older (as in those over sixty) women WERE amazing even if the feminists would have us believe otherwise they were perfectly -beautifully dressed hats coats twinsets gloves not a hair out of place AND they did things, great things incredible women. Thanks for making a place where age is given a place to be beautiful and hopefully wise -(half the above women's beauty came from their wisdom and care for others and their communities outgoing attitudes :)

Thanks for this peek into the film Ari,Iris is a brilliant woman and brilliant clothes and jewellery combinations. I love her sensible dry wit, and her involvement in the fashion industry at 91. To see Carl and know they are supporting charities as well is very inspirational to me. Wisely, she says her approach won't suit everyone.

I couldn't necessarily afford her clothes but I could alter and upcycle things I own or I thrifted to make something of the same ilk. I suspect she would applaud.
